I work at a school and many staff members have been complaining for years that we and the children are sitting ducks for nuts and/or terrorists. We don’t even have a police officer on campus. After the Beslan massacre, it really scared us. But nothing has been done for any tighter security.....
I'm sorry Michael J. Fox suffers with his disease and will pray for him, but his promotion of stem-cell experimentation, cloning, etc. is just plain wrong.
There was another "superstar" who suffered greatly from Parkinson's disease, and this man, instead of promoting experimentation on human beings for "cures", promoted respect and dignity for all people at all stages of life-Pope John Paul the Great. May we look at his incredible life as a true source of strength, truth, and self-sacrifice during this difficult time in our country.
After reading Bishop Burbridge's statement I was struck by the fact he closed by entrusting us to the Blessed Mother and the Sacred Heart. That is a very good sign. :)
Wow, this is my diocese too. He looks like such a lovely gentleman. We are in dire need of some strong, Catholic leadership here, so it looks like this man may be the answer to many, many prayers.
By the way, is there anyone out there in the DC area who knows anything about Aux. Bishop Kevin Farrell by any chance? I was just curious where he stands on things and I'm not familiar with him. Thanks.
Thank you for posting this. My bishop is on that list. I was wondering about the reason his resignation hasn't been been accepted yet...maybe they don't have a certain person in mind yet who will succeed him? Just curious.
